Introduction
This section provides a brief description of the Router, its associated technologies and a list of Router features. What is ADSL? Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is an access technology that utilizes ordinary copper telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and interactive multimedia applications for business and residential customers. For ADSL services, it is not necessary to install expensive new cabling or condition the line in any way. ADSL greatly increases the signal carrying capacity of copper telephone lines without interfering with regular telephone services. For the ADSL user, this means faster downloads and more reliable connectivity. ADSL devices make it possible to enjoy benefits such as high-speed Internet access without experiencing any loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities. ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream and up to 640 Kbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider. D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and upper layer protocols.
Router Description and Operation

The DSL-G604T ADSL Router is designed to provide a simple, cost-effective and secure ADSL Internet connection for your small- to medium-sized private network. The DSL-G604T combines the benefits of high-speed ADSL connection technology and TCP/IP routing with a conventional Ethernet interface in one compact and convenient package. ADSL connection technology enables many interactive multi-media applications such as video conferencing and collaborative computing. The Router is easy to install and use. The DSL-G604T connects to an Ethernet LAN via a standard Ethernet 10BASE-T interface using RJ-45 connectors. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary twisted-pair telephone line with standard RJ-11 connectors. This arrangement means that several PCs can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single WAN interface and IP address. Low Pass Filters Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation. Appendix B provides illustrated examples of how to install two common styles of low pass filters. Operating Systems The DSL-G604T uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running web browser software, including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Web Browser Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0, Netscape Navigator version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer. Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter) Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter. Additional Software It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using what is called a bridged connection. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on your computer, not in the Router. This type of connection is similar to the arrangement used for analogue dial-up modems, but the connection speed is much faster. Various terms are to describe a bridged ADSL connection including the term RFC 1483 Bridge which is used in this guide. About Bridged Ethernet Connections (RFC 1483) Using this method, the DSL-G604T acts as a transparent bridge, and is invisible to other devices on both the WAN and LAN side of the bridge. It is therefore necessary to provide some means of acquiring global IP settings for your account. All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, server or firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required. Account Information (User Name and Password) Most users will need to supply a user name and password used to access the service providers network (and ultimately, the Internet). This information is stored either in the Routers memory or on your computer depending on the type of ADSL connection you have. ACCOUNT INFORMATION (PPP Connections Only) User Name: Password:

Wireless LAN Basics

Some basic understanding of 802.11g wireless technology and terminology is useful when you are setting up the Router or any wireless access point. If you are not familiar with wireless networks please take a few minutes to learn the basics.
12
Radio Transmission Wireless LAN or WLAN devices use electromagnetic waves within a broad, unlicensed range of the radio spectrum to transmit and receive radio signals. When a wireless access point is present, it becomes a base station for the WLAN nodes in its broadcast range. WLAN nodes transmit digital data using FM (frequency modulation) radio signals. WLAN devices generate a carrier wave and modulate this signal using various techniques. Digital data is superimposed onto the carrier signal. This radio signal carries data to WLAN devices within range of the transmitting device. The antennae of WLAN devices listen for and receive the signal. The signal is demodulated and the transmitted data extracted. The transmission method used by the access point is called Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and operates in a range of the radio spectrum between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz for transmission. See the technical specifications for more details on wireless operation. Range Range should not be a problem in most homes or small offices. If you experience low or no signal strength in some areas, consider positioning the Router in a location between the WLAN devices that maintains a roughly equal straight-line distance to all devices that need to access the Router through the wireless interface. Adding more 802.11g access points to rooms where the signal is weak can improve signal strength. Read the section about placement of the Router titled Location in the next chapter, Hardware Installation, for more information. SSID Wireless networks use an SSID (Service Set Identifier) to allow wireless devices to roam within the range of the network. Wireless devices that wish to communicate with each other must use the same SSID. Several access points can be set up using the same SSID so that wireless stations can move from one location to another without losing connection to the wireless network. The DSL-G604T operates in Infrastructure mode. It controls network access on the wireless interface in its broadcast area. It will allow access to the wireless network to devices using the correct SSID after a negotiation process takes place. By default the DSL-G604T broadcasts its SSID so that any wireless station in range can learn the SSID and ask permission to associate with it. Many wireless adapters are able to survey or scan the wireless environment for access points. An access point in Infrastructure mode allows wireless devices to survey that network and select an access point with which to associate. You may disable SSID broadcasting in the web managers wireless menu. Wireless Security Various security options are available on the DSL-G604T including open or WEP, WPA, and WPAPSK. Authentication may use an open system or a shared key. For details on these methods and how to use them, please read the wireless LAN configuration information in chapters 3 (Basic Router Configuration) and 4 (Advanced Router Configuration) below.
About 802.11g Wireless

Today's 11-megabits-per-second 802.11b wireless networks are fine for broadband Internet access (which typically tops out at about 1 Mbps) but rather slow for large internal file transfers or streaming video. However, 54-Mbps, corporate-oriented 802.11a is expensive--and because its radio uses the 5GHz band and 802.11b uses the 2.4-GHz band, upgrading to an 802.11a network means either scrapping 802.11b gear or buying even-pricier hardware that can support both standards. But 802.11g promises the same speed as 802.11a and the ability to coexist with 802.11b equipment on one network, since it too uses the 2.4-GHz band.
13
802.11g is an extension to 802.11b, the basis of many wireless LANs in existence today. 802.11g will broaden 802.11b's data rates to 54 Mbps within the 2.4 GHz band using OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) technology. Because of backward compatibility, an 802.11b radio card will interface directly with an 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. You should be able to upgrade the newer 802.11b access points to be 802.11g compliant via relatively easy firmware upgrades. Similar to 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4GHz band, and the transmitted signal uses approximately 30MHz, which is one third of the band. This limits the number of non-overlapping 802.11g access points to three, which is the same as 802.11b.

Hardware Installation
The DSL-G604T functions on two separate networks, as an Ethernet LAN and as an ADSL WAN. When deciding where to put the Router, the user must take into account the fact that it is connected to these two networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the Router to computers and network devices, Wireless cards connect the computers and network devices to the Router, and the ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is often not a complicated matter, however, the added dimension of wireless communication does complicate the decision of Router placement.
Location
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop and ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.
Network Connection
Complete the connection to the network through the ADSL port and the Ethernet port on the back of the Router.
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the device or given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface. It is the physical link to the ISPs network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Connect Router to Ethernet
The Router may be connected to any 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN. Any connection to an Ethernet concentrating device such as a switch or hub must operate at a speed of 10/100 Mbps only. When connecting the Router to any Ethernet device that is capable of operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has auto-negotiation (NWay) enabled for the connecting port. Use standard twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 port on the Router is a crossed port (MDI-X). Follow standard Ethernet guidelines when deciding what type of cable to use to make this connection. When connecting the Router directly to a PC or server use a normal straight-through cable. You should use a crossed cable when connecting the Router to a normal (MDI-X) port on a switch or hub. Use a normal straight-through cable when connecting it to an uplink (MDI-II) port on a hub or switch. The rules governing Ethernet cable lengths apply to the LAN to Router connection. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to the Router does not exceed 100 metres. Hub or Switch to Router Connection Connect the Router to an uplink port (MDI-II) on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable as shown in the diagram below:
15
If you wish to reserve the uplink port on the switch or hub for another device, connect to any on the other MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.) with a cross-over cable.

Choosing the Best Location for Wireless Operation

Many environmental factors can affect the effective wireless function of the DSL-G604T. If this is your first time setting up a wireless network device, read and consider the points listed below. The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting. Designed to go up to 100 metres indoors and up to 300 metres outdoors, Wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the number of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through can limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. For optimum range and signal strength, use these basic guidelines: Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum: The signal emitted from Wireless LAN devices can penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall or ceiling can reduce the range of Wireless LAN devices from 1 to 30M. Position your wireless devices so that the number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is minimised. 2. Consider the direct line between access points and workstations: A wall that is 0.5 metres thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 metre thick. At a 2-degree angle, it is over 14 metres thick. Be careful to position access points and client adapters so the signal can travel straight through (90 angle) a wall or ceiling for better reception.
1. 17
3.
Building Materials make a difference: Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel. 4. Position the antennas for best reception. Play around with the antenna position to see if signal strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow the user to judge the strength of the signal. 5. Keep your product away (at least 1-2 metres) from electrical devices: Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that generate RF noise such as microwave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc.
Power On Router
To power on the Router: 1. Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the adapter into a suitable nearby power source. 2. You should see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Status LED should light solid green and begin to blink after a few seconds. 3. If you have the Router connected to your network you can look at the Ethernet Link/Act LED indicators to make sure they have valid connections. The Router will attempt to establish the ADSL connection, if the ADSL line is connected and the connection is properly configured this should light up after several seconds.
Factory Reset Button

The Router may be reset to the original factory default settings by depressing the reset button for 10 seconds while the device is powered on. Use a ballpoint pen or paperclip to push down the reset button. Remember that this will wipe out any settings stored in flash memory including IP settings. The factory default IP address of the Router is 10.1.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

Configuring the Router for the First Time
The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection is functioning properly you may continue to make changes to the Router configuration including the IP settings. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router including how to change IP settings. This chapter discusses the steps to first establish the WAN connection. The remaining features, not directly concerned with establishing the initial connection, are explained in Chapter 4, Web-based Management. It is recommended that you install and configure the Router using one non-networked computer. This allows you to verify that the ADSL service is functioning and that you are able to communicate with the device. Once the initial ADSL connection is established, you can proceed to build an Ethernet LAN around the device or incorporate it into an existing LAN.
WAN Configuration Summary
1. Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTMLbased and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be able to see the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same neighbourhood or subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server of the computer. The next section describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client. 2. Configure the WAN Connection Once you are able to access the configuration software you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the service providers network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the service providers network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what Encapsulation and connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN connection.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router. For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

Configure Basic Wireless Settings Follow the instructions below to change basic wireless settings. 1. To disable the wireless interface: click in the Enable AP check box to remove the check mark and click the Apply button. This will immediately disable the wireless access point, it is not necessary to restart the access point to make this change. 2. If the wireless interface has been disabled: click the Enable AP check box to place a check mark in it. Click the Apply button. It is not necessary to restart the access point unless you have also changed the channel or SSID. 3. The SSID can be changed to suit your wireless network. Remember that any wireless device using the access point must have the same SSID and use the same channel. The SSID can be a continuous character string (i.e. no spaces) of up to 16 characters in length. To disable SSID sharing, use the Advanced Wireless Setup menu (see next chapter). Click the Apply button to save any change to the SSID. 4. The Channel may be changed to channels that are available in your region. Channels available for wireless LAN communication are subject to regional and national regulation. Click the Apply button to save any change to the Channel. 5. The options for Security include None, WEP and WPA. If None is selected, wireless transmissions will not be protected. WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol or Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption can be enabled for security and privacy. WEP encrypts the data portion of each frame transmitted from the wireless adapter using one of the predefined keys. Decryption of the data contained in each packet can only be done if the both the receiver and transmitter have the correct key. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security for wireless communication has been developed to overcome some of the shortcomings of WEP. WPA combines the key generation of WEP with the authentication services of a RADIUS (802.1x) server.

For applications or circumstances where packet loss or packet delay are a concern, ATM QoS can be adjusted to minimize problems. For most accounts, it will not be necessary to change these settings. Altering QoS settings can adversely affect performance of some commonly used Internet applications. If you plan to change QoS or traffic parametres, contact your ISP or network services provider for information on what types of adjustment are available or possible for your account. Your ISP may not support the class of service you want to use.
Figure 4- 8. ATM settings for the WAN interface
Service Category: This field represents the QoS (Quality of Service) feature for the ADSL router. The choices available from the pull down menu include UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate), CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate). These values should already be set for you and should not be changed unless specified by your ISP. UBR Unspecified Bit Rate, this is the default category used for general-purpose Internet traffic where normal levels of packet loss and delay are acceptable. For some applications or for multiple connection accounts, it may be desirable to specify the PCR.
39
CBR Constant Bit Rate, usually used in circumstances where very low packet loss and very low Cell Delay Variable (CDV) are desirable. VBR Variable Bit Rate, usually used when network traffic is characterized by bursts of packets at variable intervals, and some moderate packet loss and delay is acceptable. This category is typically used for audio and video applications such as teleconferencing. The network must support QoS Class 2 to use VBR. PCR: PCR (Peak Cell Rate) refers to the Bandwidth control on your ADSL router. This field allows you to enter a value representing the maximum bps (bits per second) the ADSL router can receive. This field is limited by the stream coming form your ISP. SCR: SCR (Sustained Cell Rate) refers to the Bandwidth control on your ADSL router. This field allows you to enter a value representing the minimum bps (bits per second) the ADSL router can receive. After making the changes to this screen, click Apply to let your changes take effect.

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the gateway to automatically obtain the IP address from a DHCP server on the service providers network. The service provider assigns a global IP address from a pool of addresses available to the service provider. Typically the IP address assigned has a long lease time, so it will likely be the same address each time the Router requests an IP address. If DHCP is not enabled on the Router, it is necessary for the user to assign a static IP address at each computer on your LAN.
Figure 4- 10. DHCP configuration window 42
To setup DHCP for your LAN, first enable the Router as a DHCP server by clicking the corresponding DHCP Server radio button in the window above and enter the Starting IP Address and Ending IP address to create a pool of IP addresses to be assigned to other end nodes (computers, routers, etc.) on the LAN. The Lease Time field is the time the Server will set for devices using DHCP to re-request an IP Address. When using the Router in DHCP mode you may also configure DNS settings for the LAN. Click the DNS Mode radio button to auto to allow the Router to automatically relay DNS settings to properly configured DHCP clients. Click Manual to manually enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses. When the Router has been enabled as DHCP Server the administrator of the server can assign a Static IP address to each computer on the LAN from the workstation where the DCHP server has been enabled. To assign a Static IP address to a computer on the LAN, enter the IP and MAC address in the Static IP Assignment field. Click Apply to implement information set in this table.
DNS
DNS or Domain Name Server is a system that translates Domain Names into IP addresses. Setting up a DNS will allow the router to contact the DNS to ask it to translate and find a web site you have entered. The following window allows you to set two DNS servers by their IP addresses and these IP addresses should be supplied to you by your ISP.
Figure 4- 11. DNS window 43
To configure the DNS for the Router, use the DNS Relay Selection pull down menu to select the DNS configuration for the router. There are three choices: Disable DNS Selecting this option will disable the DNS function of your router. Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only This choice will enable the router to automatically find the DNS Server for your setup. Use User Discovered DNS Server Only This choice will enable the DNS Servers entered in the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server fields. These two IP addresses must be stated to you by your ISP. The router will first try the Preferred DNS Server to resolve a websites URL IP address. If that IP address fails to resolve the URL, the Router will then try the Alternate DNS Server. Your ISP must provide this information to you. Click Apply to set the DNS configurations into the memory of the Router.
Dynamic DNS
The Router supports DDNS, a service that maps Internet domain names to IP addresses. DDNS serves a similar purpose to DNS in that DDNS allows anyone hosting a Web or FTP server to advertise a public name to prospective users. Unlike DNS that only works with static IP addresses, DDNS works with dynamic IP addresses, such as those assigned by an ISP or other DHCP server. DDNS is popular with home network users, who typically receive dynamic, frequently-changing IP addresses from their service provider. To use DDNS, one simply signs up with a provider and installs network software on their host to monitor its IP address. Please see your ISP for further information.

Advanced Configuration
The Advanced tab has fifteen windows for you to view and configure: UPnP, Virtual Server, LAN Clients, SNMP, Filters, Bridge Filters, Routing, DMZ, Firewall, RIP, PPP, ADSL, ATM VCC, Wireless Management, and Wireless Performance.
UPnP
UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other devices on the network. UPnP can be supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewall, phone line and power line networking.
Figure 5- 1. UPnP window
To enable UPnP for any available connection, click to check the Enable UPnP selection box, select the connection or connections on which you will enable UPnP listed under Available Connections and click the Apply button.
45
Virtual Server
To view the following window, click on the Advanced tab at the top of the window and then click the Virtual Server button to the left. The Virtual Server will allow remote users access to various services outside of their LAN through a public IP address, such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Secure Web). Select a connection type and enter an IP address for the virtual server. After configuring the Router for these features, the Router will redirect these external services to an appropriate server on the users LAN. To choose a particular service click a radio button from the category list and highlight the service from the Available Rules list. Click Add, and then reboot to apply the rule.
Figure 5- 2. Virtual Server window
LAN Clients
The LAN Clients menu is used when establishing Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security rules for IP addresses on the LAN. This menu can be accessed directly by clicking on the LAN Clients button or hyperlink in the Advanced setup menu. You can also click on the New IP button located in the Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security menus to access this menu. In order to use these advanced features it is necessary to have IP addresses available for configuration. If there are no IP addresses listed in the LAN Clients menu, it will not be possible to configure Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security. Use the LAN Clients menus to add or delete static IP addresses for the advanced functions mentioned above, or to Reserve a Dynamically assigned IP address for an advanced function. Dynamically assigned IP addresses will only be listed if DHCP is enabled on the Router.
46
Figure 5- 3. LAN Clients Window
To add a static IP address to the list of available IP addresses, type an IP address that falls within the range a available IP addresses and click on the Add button. In the example above, available addresses range from 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254. Any addresses added will appear in the list of Static Addresses available for advanced configuration. These addresses can then be used in the other Port Forwarding, Access Control and Advanced Security menus. To delete an IP address from the list of Static Addresses, click the Delete box for the address or addresses you want to eliminate and click on the Apply button. Dynamically assigned IP addresses may be reserved so that the LAN IP address for the device does not expire. This will create a permanent entry for the device in the ARP table and in effect, it becomes a static IP address. Click to check the Reserve box for the address or addresses you want to reserve and click the Apply button. These reserved addresses will no longer be available for DHCP assignment and will be listed in the Static IP Addresses table.
SNMP
This menu can be accessed directly by clicking on the SNMP button or hyperlink in the Advanced setup menu. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7 Application designed specifically for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches, and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features for proper operation, performance monitoring, and detection of potential problems in the Router or network.
47
Figure 5- 4. SNMP window
Under SNMP Management, enable or disable SNMP Agent or SNMP Traps by using the check boxes. An SNMP Agent is software that runs locally on the device. A defined set of variables (managed objects) is maintained by the SNMP agent and used to manage the device. Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the Switch. The events can be as serious as a reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the Switch), or less serious like a port status change. The Router generates traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storms. In the Name, Location and Contact fields, enter the appropriate information of the Network Administrator. Under Community, enter the name of an SNMP community string that defines the relationship between the SNMP manager and an agent. The community string acts like a password to permit or deny access to an agent on the Router. The defining characteristic associated with the community string is the Access Right. The agents access right can be set as either read/write or readonly. Under Traps enter the Destination IP address and Trap Community Name so that the agent sends traps to the management server. The Trap Version can also be set to either SNMP V1 (to specify that SNMP version 1 will be used) or SNMPv2c, which supports both centralized and distributed network management strategies. SNMP V2c includes improvements in the Structure of Management Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
48
Filters
The following window will aid the routers administrator in configuring filters for IP addresses. There are two types of filters that the administrator can configure. Outbound Filters are for administrators who wish to deny clients on their LAN from accessing certain virtual ports or IP addresses on the Internet. Inbound Filters are for administrators who wish to deny IP addresses or virtual ports from outside the router (on the Internet) from accessing the Internal LAN of the router. Click the corresponding radio button to configure Outbound or Inbound Filters. Both screens are identical in configuration.
Figure 5- 5. Filters window
To configure filters for the router, configure the folowing fields and click Apply.
Source IP Enter an IP address or range of addresses from which to block or allow packets. This field may also be used to block a set of subnet masks by using the corresponding pull down menu. Enter an IP address or range of addresses to which to block or allow packets from being sent. This field may also be used to block a set of subnet masks by using the corresponding pull down menu. Enter a port or range of ports from which to block or allow packets. This field can only be configured if TCP or UDP is selected in the Protocol field. The Safe Range option in the pull down menu is for ports that have a higher value than 1024. Enter a port or range of ports to which to block or allow packets from being sent. This field can only be configured if TCP or UDP is selected in the Protocol field. The Safe Range option in the pull down menu is for ports that have a higher value than 1024. Use the pull down menu to select the protocol type to be used for this filter. The user may choose between TCP, UDP or TCP UDP. 49

Properly configured filters for the router will appear in the table in the bottom half of the filters window. Click Apply to set the filters configured for this router.
Bridge Filters
Bridge filters are used to block or allow various types of packets through the WAN interface. This may be done for security or to improve network efficiency. The rules are configured for individual devices based on MAC address. Filter rules can be set up for source, destination or both. You can set up filter rules and disable the entire set of rules without loosing the rules that have been configured.
Figure 5- 6. Bridge Filters window
To add a bridge filter rule, check Enable Bridge Filters, type in a Source MAC, a Destination MAC or both in the entry fields. Select Any to apply the rule to any protocol that the router receives. The user may also specify a protocol to be filtered by using the pull-down menu, and then choose either Allow, to allow the specified protocol to pass through the router, or Deny to filter the protocol from the router. The protocols that may be specifically allowed or denied to pass through the WAN interface are IPv4, IPv6, RARP, PPPoE Discovery and PPPoE Session. Click the Add button. The rule will appear in the entry field below as it is currently configured. To remove a bridge filter from the table in the bottom half of the window, click to select the corresponding Delete box, and then click Apply. Remember to save the configuration changes.
Routing
Clicking the Routing tab will lead you to this window, which is used to manually enter a routing entry for the Router. Routing entries are used when known gateways and hops on the network are known to the user. Unless instructed by your ISP or if you have a greater knowledge of networking, this window should not be necessary to configure as the LAN IP settings should be sufficient for your connection.
50
Figure 5- 7. Routing window
The user may configure the following fields for Static routing on the router:
Destination Netmask Gateway Enter the host IP address or the remote network that will be used for static routing on the router. Enter the Subnet Mask to be used for static routing. Enter the gateway devices IP address. This is an IP address of a device that will allow the user to contact the remote network or Host IP address. This field cannot be configured or used if the following field, Connection, has been selected. Choose a PVC from the corresponding pull-down menu to be used for static routing. This field cannot be configured or used if the previous field, Gateway, has been selected.
Connection
Click Apply to set the routing information configured.
DMZ
Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set up using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a visible address and does NOT benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices on the LAN. It may be wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from the rest of the LAN. For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can use the DMZ IP address function. In this case, you must have a PC or server through which video conferencing will take place. The IP address of this PC or server will then be the DMZ IP address. You can designate the servers IP address as the DMZ by typing in the IP address in the IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by clicking the Enabled radio button and then click Apply. For the system that uses the DMZ IP address, you may want to manually assign an IP address to it and adjust your DHCP server addresses so that the DMZ IP address is not included in the
51
DHCP server range. This way you avoid possible IP address problems if you reboot the DMZ system. To configure the Routers DMZ IP address, click the Advanced tab at the top of the screen and then the DMZ tab to the left.

IP Address Setup
The DSL-G604T is designed to provide network administrators maximum flexibility for IP addressing on the Ethernet LAN. The easiest IP setup choice in most cases is to let the Router do it using DHCP, which is enabled by default. This appendix briefly describes various options including DHCP, used for IP setup on a LAN. If you are new to IP networking, the next appendix provides some background information on basic IP concepts. Assigning Network IP Addresses The IP address settings, which include the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address are the first and most important internal network settings that need to be configured. The Router is assigned a default LAN IP address and subnet mask. If you do not have a pre-existing IP network and are setting one up now, using the factory default IP address settings can greatly ease the setup process. If you already have a pre-existing IP network, you can adjust the IP settings for the Router to fit within your existing scheme. Using the Default IP Address The Router is shipped with a preset default IP address setting of 10.1.1.1 for the LAN port. There are two ways to use this default IP address, you can manually assign an IP address and subnet mask for each PC on the LAN or you can instruct the Router to automatically assign them using DHCP. The simplest method is to use DHCP. The DHCP function is active by default. Manual IP Address Assignment Manually configuring IP settings for the LAN means you must manually set an IP address, subnet mask and IP address of the default gateway (the Routers IP address) on each networked computer. The example listed below describes IP configuration for computers running Windows 95 or Windows 98. Regardless of what operating system is used on each workstation, the three network IP settings must be defined so the network interface used by each workstation can be identified by the Router, and vice versa. For detailed information about configuring your workstations IP settings, consult the users guide included with the operating system or the network interface card (NIC). 1. In Windows 95/98, click on the Start button, go to Settings and choose Control Panel. 2. In the window that opens, double-click on the Network icon. 3. Under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP component and click Properties. 4. Choose the Specify an IP address option and edit the address settings accordingly. Consult the table below for IP settings on a Class C network. IP Setup - Example #1 Using Default IP without DHCP Host Router IP Address 10.1.1.1

Please note that when using the default IP address as in the above example, the first three numbers in the IP address must always be the same with only the fourth number changing. The first three numbers define the network IP address (all machines must belong to the same IP network), while the last number denotes the host IP address (each computer must have a unique address to distinguish it on the network). The IP address scheme used in Example #1 can be used for any LAN that requires up to 253 separate IP addresses (excluding the Router). Notice that the subnet mask is the same for all machines and the default gateway address is the LAN IP address of the Router. It is a good idea to make a note of each devices IP address for reference during troubleshooting or when adding new stations or devices. Using DHCP The second way to use the default settings is to allow the Router to automatically assign IP settings for workstation using DHCP. To do this, simply make sure your computers IP addresses are set to 0.0.0.0 (under Windows, choose the option Obtain an IP address automatically in the TCP/IP network component described above). When the computers are restarted, their IP settings will automatically be assigned by the Router. The Router is set by default to use DHCP. See the discussion in Chapter 5 for information on how to use configure the Router for DHCP. Changing the IP Address of the Router When planning your LAN IP address setup, you may use any scheme allowed by rules that govern IP assignment. It may be more convenient or easier to remember an IP scheme that use a different address for the Router. Or you may be installing the Router on a network that has already established the IP settings. Changing the IP address is a simple matter and can be done using the web manager (see LAN IP Address in Chapter 5). If you are incorporating the Router into a LAN with an existing IP structure, be sure to disable the DHCP function. Also, consider the effects of the NAT function which is enable by default. An IP addressing scheme commonly used for Ethernet LANs establishes 10.0.0.1 as the base address for the network. Using Example #2 below, the Router is assigned the base address 10.0.0.1 and the remaining addresses are assigned manually or using DHCP. IP Setup - Example #2 Alternative IP Assignment Host Router Computer #1 IP Address 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 Subnet Mask Gateway IP 255.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

These two examples are only examples you can use to help you get started. If you are interested in more advanced information on how to use IP addressing on a LAN there are numerous resources freely available on the Internet. There are also many books and chapters of books on the subject of IP address assignment, IP networking and the TCP/IP protocol suite.

IP Concepts
This appendix describes some basic IP concepts, the TCP/IP addressing scheme and show how to assign IP Addresses. When setting up the Router, you must make sure it has a valid IP address. Even if you will not use the WAN port (ADSL port), you should, at the very least, make sure the Ethernet LAN port is assigned a valid IP address. This is required for telnet, in-band SNMP management, and related functions such as trap handling and TFTP firmware download. IP Addresses The Internet Protocol (IP) was designed for routing data between network sites all over the world, and was later adapted for routing data between networks within any site (often referred to as sub networks or subnets). IP includes a system by which a unique number can be assigned to each of the millions of networks and each of the computers on those networks. Such a number is called an IP address. To make IP addresses easy to understand, the originators of IP adopted a system of representation called dotted decimal or dotted quad notation. Below are examples of IP addresses written in this format: 201.202.203.204 189.21.241.56 125.87.0.1
Each of the four values in an IP address is the ordinary decimal (base 10) representation of a value that a computer can handle using eight bits (binary digits 1s and 0s). The dots are simply convenient visual separators. Zeros are often used as placeholders in dotted decimal notation; 189.21.241.56 can therefore also appear as 189.021.241.056. IP networks are divided into three classes on the basis of size. A full IP address contains a network portion and a host (device) portion. The network and host portions of the address are different lengths for different classes of networks, as shown in the table below.
84
Networks attached to the Internet are assigned class types that determine the maximum number of possible hosts per network. The previous figure illustrates how the net and host portions of the IP address differ among the three classes. Class A is assigned to networks that have more than 65,535 hosts; Class B is for networks that have 256 to 65534 hosts; Class C is for networks with less than 256 hosts. Class Maximum Number of Networks in Class 126 16,382 2,097,150 IP Network Classes Network Addresses (Host Portion in Parenthesis) 1(.0.0.0) to 126(.0.0.0) 128.1(.0.0) to 191.254(.0.0 ) 192.0.1(.0) to 223.255.254 (.0) Maximum Number of Hosts per Network 16,777,214 65,534 254
A B C
All network addresses outside of these ranges (Class D and E) are either reserved or set aside for experimental networks or multicasting. When an IP address's host portion contains only zero(s), the address identifies a network and not a host. No physical device may be given such an address. The network portion must start with a value from 1 to 126 or from 128 to 223. Any other value(s) in the network portion may be from 0 to 255, except that in class B the network addresses 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.0.0 are reserved, and in class C the network addresses 192.0.0.0 and 223.255.255.0 are reserved. The value(s) in the host portion of a physical device's IP address can be in the range of 0 through 255 as long as this portion is not all-0 or all-255. Values outside the range of 0 to 255 can never appear in an IP address (0 to 255 is the full range of integer values that can be expressed with eight bits). The network portion must be the same for all the IP devices on a discrete physical network (a single Ethernet LAN, for example, or a WAN link). The host portion must be different for each IP device or, to be more precise, each IP-capable port or interface connected directly to that network. The network portion of an IP address will be referred to in this manual as a network number; the host portion will be referred to as a host number. To connect to the Internet or to any private IP network that uses an Internet-assigned network number, you must obtain a registered IP network number from an Internet-authorized network information center. In many countries you must apply through a government agency, however they can usually be obtained from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If your organization's networks are, and will always remain, a closed system with no connection to the Internet or to any other IP network, you can choose your own network numbers as long as they conform to the above rules. If your networks are isolated from the Internet, e.g. only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP Addresses to hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP Addresses specifically for private (stub) networks: Clas s A Beginning Address 10.0.0.0 Ending Address 10.255.255.25 5
Note:

B C
172.16.0.0 192.168.0.0
172.31.255.25 5 192.168.255.2 55
It is recommended that you choose private network IP Addresses from the above list. For more information on address assignment, refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
86
Subnet Mask In the absence of sub networks, standard TCP/IP addressing may be used by specifying subnet masks as shown below. IP Class Class A Class B Class C Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 255.255.255.0
Subnet mask settings other than those listed above add significance to the interpretation of bits in the IP address. The bits of the subnet mask correspond directly to the bits of the IP address. Any bit and a subnet mask that is to correspond to a net ID bit in the IP address must be set to 1.

Microfilters and Splitters
Most ADSL clients will be required to install a simple device that prevents the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. These devices are commonly referred to as microfilters or sometimes called (inaccurately) line splitters. They are easy to install and use standard telephone connectors and cable. Some ADSL service providers will send a telecommunications technician to modify the telephone line, usually at the point where the telephone line enters the building. If a technician has divided or split your telephone line into two separate lines - one for regular telephone service and the other for ADSL then you do not need to use any type of filter device. Follow the instructions given to you by your ADSL service provider about where and how you should connect the Router to the ADSL line. Microfilters Unless you are instructed to use a line splitter (see below), it will be necessary to install a microfilter (low pass filter) device for each telephone or telephone device (answering machines, Faxes etc.) that share the line with the ADSL service. Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the telephone and wall jack. Microfilters that install behind the wall plate are also available. A typical in-line microfilter installation is shown in the diagram below.
Microfilter Installation
Important: Do not install the microfilter between the Router and the telephone jack. Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other regular telephone devices.
88
Line Splitter If you are instructed to use a line splitter, you must install the device between the Router and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ-11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Router and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports are typically labelled as follows: Line - This port connects to the wall jack. ADSL This port connects to the Router. Phone This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device. The diagram below illustrates the proper use of the splitter.
